The saddest part of Lord Shimura's tale was that; Shogun will continue ordering him to kill his own family in which case is a lifetime punishment. Killing him is to set him free from his torture. Shimura wanted to die because he doesn't want to kill Jin, but Jin doesn't want to kill the last member of his family as well. What a beautifully written tragedy ; w ;
your explanation to kill shimura is waaaaay better than all the others I've seen, when people say "Jin should've kill him because it's the bushido way or the honorable way" as if they've completely forgotten that the whole point of Jin's journey is that JIN ABANDONED THE BUSHIDO WAY BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER REALISTIC IN HIS MIND!!!! also the fact that the shogun didn't really give a crap about bushido but instead became angry because the population of the island started dubting their goverment and it's leaders. so with your explanation is perfectly clear for me, both endings are not "good" or "bad" they are just that, endings both nither black or white but grey.
nah, shimura probaly will be fine even if he fail to kill Jin, when you ride with him he said shogun task him with training their force to prepare for mongol invasion, so he will be move on main land soon, and other lord will replace him for hunt down Jin

it’s the better ending imo. You honored the person who was a father to you for most of your life, and let your uncle go out with honor. Also, he would have probably commit seppuku had you spared him, as he would have mist likely considered it dishonorable to lose a duel, however not lose his life from it.
Damn I shed tears on that game. Lost your friend, lost your horse buddy, lost your mother figure and lost your father figure. This should be the 2020 Game of the Year.
My 3 Saddest Moments: (1) When my horse died. (2) When I saw the R2 prompt for the grapple hook and pressed R2 but it didn’t hook. (3) When I’m dropping down on enemies for a sweet chained assassination but only a square appears last second and I die.
@@xn2x318 Jin knows that he needs to be brave and do what is necessary, he wants to stop Taka but he lack the reasoning to do so as Jin is the very person Taka is trying to be.
Nothing could replace the bonding time I had with my first Horse. We rode though many fields of flowers, went into battle together, and liberated Towns together. We even had a ride though the bamboo forest. When my horse died, I couldn't play the game for the rest of the day 😭
@@ritoTM I'm on my second playthrough I'm going to name the second horse kage this time. this playthrough I'm going to try to do the main missions first so I can do all the side missions at the end when he has his little house in the woods
the fact you have to accept being the Ghost hurts, even though it's for the greater good. Having to kill your uncle and father figure hurted even more. Leaving him is worse as he continues to hunt you and the Mongols. What a great, greatly depressing game. I love it. I shall now bury myself in the sadness and recover.
The Jin of the begging, the samurai would accomplish his wish and would killed him but the New Jin, the ghost, would spare his life because he wouldn’t kill his own family despite all and he won’t be more controlled anymore by the samurai code and he will be seen like a traitor for doing the correct without honor. So I didn’t kill him and for me that option is the canon
Renzo Pedemonte I feel the same, Jin rejects samurai code and not killing uncle confirms that his a Ghost now. Killing uncle only would show that Shimura and stupid code is more valuable than the life. Jin sacrificed everything to save the others life
Sora’s death (the horse). Yuriko’s death, Masako seeing her children hanged. Some haikus you have to write on these events happening. I have cried too much.
Lord Shimura went to that duel knowing full well Jin would best him. He wanted to die because he had lost his son, Jin had been outcast and his clan disbanded. Metaphorically Lord Shimura wanted both of their clans to die that day. He didn’t want to pass the Shimura mantel down to anyone that wasn’t Jin... What a beautiful game... not afraid to say I cried. 🥺
I’m playing the game and my I just got to the part where my horse dies. I hadn’t seen this video yet so I was completely unprepared. I actually cried over my black horse, Kage. Rest in piece my friend. May you run through endless fields in heaven.
This game will go down in history as one of the best out there. I loved every minute of it and felt all kind of emotions while playing it. This is gaming at it’s finest.
12:04 it’s symbolic how they each write the final haikus at different colored leaves. Plus, if you killed him, the option on the left, you got the white ghost outfit, just like the color of the leaves on the left. If you spared him, the option on the right, you got the red ghost outfit, which are the leaves on the right
I do think there's some interesting dual-symbolism to be found in the Righteous Punishment and Vow of Vengeance skins if you look at eastern cultures: White represents not just death, but purity in body and mind. This to me reflects the symbolism of Jin choosing to kill Lord Shimura: it shows that underneath the Ghost, he is still willing to adhere to what his country deems as honorable. Plus, more obviously, you get this outfit by killing Lord Shimura. Red represents prosperity of family, which is poetic considering Jin's words: he will not kill his family for the sake of honor, even if Shimura will hunt him for the rest of his life. I also think the real kicker of this outfit is red is the color of Clan Shimura, further adding to this symbolism.
14:47 his scream is so sad, you can tell how much it’s hurting him to have to do this. The performances in this game were god tier. Such a masterpiece.
I could see a 9 because while the story itself is great, there are a lot of moments where its repetitive and the same old "sneak/rush your way into a camp, kill the enemies, go back and talk" scheme.
@@MARKOoo to each their own. Just imo most people would probably find it a bit repetitive considering it’s the same things over and over. Also, 3 years ago is crazy
Using a sword would be far less efficient than using his bare hands, not to mention that it would be busted to hell and too dull to kill if he treated it like a shovel
i havent even played the game, but when jin lost himself when shimura was sent by his own hands and Jin screams, then the music. Bloody hell my tears just came out.
But Jin's was too, mother and father dead, Lord Shimura possibly killed (relationship gets worse overtime too) Plus how Kage, Nobu or Sora dies, along with Taka. Plus we also know Lord Shimura, Kazumasa Sakai (Jin's Father), the horse, Taka, and sort of Yuriko die right in front of him.
The scene where Jin dedicates himself to the legend of the ghost is so heartbreaking because he surrenders and gives his sword to Yuna and Lord Shimura burns the adoption papers. Ugh I always wish every time I do that mission that just once Jin would stay with shimura, but they can’t win a war the samurai way.
It was sad I said to my self imagine dying so fast during that day one of my baby budgies were sick it got medicine shortly after it passed away every time it think of her death I think of him.
Not gonna lie I had expected the duel between Shimura and Jin the moment he started disapproving of the Ghost. But there was a SMALL part of me that hoped I could choose Sepuku to reclaim my lost honor as one of the endings... sadly there was not so instead I too gave Shimura an honorable end.
I've never felt more bad for a person than Lady Masako. Such unbearable pain. Seeing her hanged children and burying them, her husband's death, her grandchildren and entire family killed and had to bury them, turns out her sister was responsible and had to kill her, being separated from her true love (mai). And now that everything is over, she's truly all alone with no home, waiting for her death.
these were definitely some tearjerkers. same as Yuriko's tale. I also feel like a lot of people are making the last choice in the game based off of the whole "I am the ghost I am dishonorable" idea set, but the way I see it, that last choice has nothing to do with the way of the samurai or honor or anything like that. it is purely a fight between a son and father. and choosing to spare him is choosing to spit in the face of everything he raised you to be. In killing him, it's less of an "I am an honorable samurai" thing to do, and more of an "I am still the son you raised" kind of thing. the final loving act of a son to his father. to show him that although you did horrible things to save your people, you are still the same person, at heart, the same "honorable" Lord Sakai that was once to be heir the Shimura clan. that's my take anyway.
The second one was so sad, cause you choose the horse that you keep it until now.. shadow you will remembered :/ btw in Skellige I found one pack of horses and used axii to one and mount it, I think I betrayed roach xD
That escaleted way faster than speed of light! Wtf dude!! How dare you dishonor this game... Where exactly in Skellige did you find those rideable horses? Honor me by reply!
When Taka died I just screamed at the screen *DAMN IT TAKA!!!* Then when the horse died I got Rdr2 flashbacks and screamed again *ARE YOU KIDDING ME... NO!! NOT AGAIN!! NOT MY KAGE!!*
I did the same and I also named my Horse Kage and it was black now my Horse is white and named Kaze to honor Kage I named it like that I was so sad when Kage died, I cried
Am I the only one who felt so sad for Ryuzo when he screamed “Open the gate!”? You could hear the pain in his voice that even though he betrayed them he didn’t want to kill his own people.
I felt full hate for Ryuzo so it wasn't that sad for me. If he would have helped take the castle he would have gotten food and had trusted allies. That and he would choose the straw hats over Jin which was his childhood friend
It's definitely one of the most well-acted scenes IMO. You can tell how shell-shocked he is at the forced act of burning his own people alive at the stake, eyes glazed over and shuffling along like he's in a horrible dream-world. And it's so beuatifully contrasted with Khotun's utter indifference, almost boredom. Love that scene.
Yeah this was a "what did I get myself into" moment for Ryuzo. He wasn't evil, he was desperate and afraid. But he was also remorseful and stubborn. The first act was handled in a brilliant way. They made you expect a Shimura betrayal all the way. Instead, when you turn up at the castle, no straw hats join you. This is also opposite to Act 3 when Shimura does show up and helps fight the Mongols. Shimura and Ryuzo are each other's foils and a representation of the ways of Samurai (devoted to honor and master) and Ronin (fallen samurai with no master nor honor). Jin, as the Ghost, is in-between. Which is why I picked the dapple grey horse after my first one died.
@@seekinpeekin Atleast you said “he chose the straw hats over jin” giving a better sense of betrayal, while most people who think they are moral activists will just say “he chose his family over his homeland”
Notice the leaves are red and white like if you killed him you’ll the white ghost armor if you spare him you’ll get the red armor it’s just that I thought that was interesting that’s all
I thought the vibration on the controller reflecting Shimura's heartbeat during his death really added to the heaviness of the scene. Such a great ending.
Man, thanks for being such a nice person and youtuber. I really like that you enjoy and are as interested in these games as we are, i thought i wouldn't cry today again but dam that ending is some of the best writing EVER.
When your horse died is 1st for me I almost shed a tear when that happened. At the end when your horse was struggling to stay on its feet it was so heart breaking
By the breathe in my body, this game is beautiful. Absolutely stunning and you can very clearly see the love and passion that went into developing this game. The story is phenomenal. I hope they give a Pre/Sequel.
The ending was the one that made me cry. You don't have many flashbacks or instances to play with Jin's uncle, and i really thought a i didn't care about him. Till i had to make my decision (that took me a solid half an hour). I realize how the story of them is subtle, yet poweful. Losing Lord Shimura and losing the samurai title, is the greatest prove of what Jin sacrificed to save Tsushima. Btw, RIP Sora: the second horse i've seen die in a videogame.
This game rocked my world. Seriously one of the best video games I've ever played. Gameplay, soundtrack, story everything was there. Absolute masterpiece.
Yea each time I play my horse jumps of a cliff he lives Me:How did u live? but I do not fall BC I jump off of Nobu as soon as he jumps but I have other horses such as Sora, Nobux1, Nobux2, and Kaze BTW that was in order of my horses in my past gameplays. :)
Everything is perfection in this game. The cinematics, the emotions, the story, a true work of art. First time a game made me feel so many emotions. I screamed at my tv like a madman so many times xD
It was hard and sad, but I feel like her attitude hinted at the fact that she would die soon. Especially the last mission with her where her mind kinda wanders around. While the other deaths are, I feel, a bit more unexpected or sudden
@@swissrecon the fact that you see her inevitable death from way before makes you want to find any way to save her only to realize in the end that it's impossible to do make makes it way sadder that an unexpected death imo
@@ManlyBanana9009 I guess so, but in a way it's not about what you can do to stop the inevitable I think. I took it as I want to make her last moment the best as possible. That's what I understood from Jin playing along when she talked to him using his father's name.
I would definitely add a 4th moment as you work your way through yurikos quests she gradually forgets who Jin is and starts referring to him as kazumasa and Jin knows her time is coming so he plays along sitting with her as she passes always makes my eyes a little misty
Damn... the start of Act III was so heartbreakingly sad. My only wish was that you’d be forced to go on without a horse for a longer stretch of the game. It kinda lessens the impact that you get another mount after just one mission.
Well without a horse for a long stretch of time would be nightmare. I notice that the temporary horse is slower than your samurai horse (not by much but still noticeable) so that something
Having Jin fight Lord Shimura hit me hard the most. Everything building up to that point... the flashbacks... their fights together... their relationship almost being like father and son... I lost my father at a young age, and maybe because of that those parts of the game resonated with me soo much... this game was such a phenomenal experience that I’ll never forget😢
Yurikos death was really sad as well..its so well done like you slowly understanding her memory is going, which is what happens in real life..and how she reveals her relationship with kazumasa...it really hits when you tell her what you see and then look back and she has peacefully passed on
give us one more with your thoughts about the game and how it compares to other games like lets say witcher and assassins creed. i ve waited days to watch them and i kinda expected some commentary to be honest :P
Spoiler... The must hitting moment in this game.. Is Yuriko's death.. Maybe lots of people didn't know about her.. In her missions when she start coughing i knew she gonna die.. I just continued that mission worrying about her.. Until the moment her last moment.. 😭😭😭

also the fact that the shogun didn't really give a crap about bushido but instead became angry because the population of the island started dubting their goverment and it's leaders.

tom tucer use that outfit, with the wolf of Tsushima mask, and the first Sakai clan helmet, thats hella fire
Damn I shed tears on that game. Lost your friend, lost your horse buddy, lost your mother figure and lost your father figure. This should be the 2020 Game of the Year.
Whos the mother figure?
@@mohammedrizwansadik6977 I think he's referring to Yuriko
@@safwanmiah3773 jus notitced its a side story tht she dies.
My 3 Saddest Moments: (1) When my horse died. (2) When I saw the R2 prompt for the grapple hook and pressed R2 but it didn’t hook. (3) When I’m dropping down on enemies for a sweet chained assassination but only a square appears last second and I die.
That number 2 cut my soul deeper then any Katana
Bonus: "DOSHO!!!"
the grappling hook was so fun
@@FredLenz1 *pain*
This game is packed with emotions. The best game of 2020.

That moment Taka comes with you: my brain: taka no.
Taka: yes
2 min later: TAKAAAAAAA
Exactly bro Jin is a fool for letting him do what he wanted,he should've tried harder to stop him
@@xn2x318 Jin knows that he needs to be brave and do what is necessary, he wants to stop Taka but he lack the reasoning to do so as Jin is the very person Taka is trying to be.
@@xn2x318 tbf Jin told Taka to go straight back to camp and Taka would've been safe. But Taka came back on his own which Jin had no control over.
@@kurimiaisukurimu bruh i feel like its ages since i last played ghost of tsushima yet its just one month
@@xn2x318 I just beat the game after getting it last week, holy fuck was it a journey
My jaw dropped when Taka died, then I was just depressed when my horse(Kage) died
Nothing could replace the bonding time I had with my first Horse. We rode though many fields of flowers, went into battle together, and liberated Towns together. We even had a ride though the bamboo forest. When my horse died, I couldn't play the game for the rest of the day 😭
I named my first horse kage too 😄
My first horse was Sora and my second horse was Kage.
@@ritoTM I'm on my second playthrough I'm going to name the second horse kage this time. this playthrough I'm going to try to do the main missions first so I can do all the side missions at the end when he has his little house in the woods
And tears at the end, I chose to kill lord shimura bc that’s what he wanted and would die happy
the fact you have to accept being the Ghost hurts, even though it's for the greater good. Having to kill your uncle and father figure hurted even more. Leaving him is worse as he continues to hunt you and the Mongols. What a great, greatly depressing game. I love it. I shall now bury myself in the sadness and recover.
The Jin of the begging, the samurai would accomplish his wish and would killed him but the New Jin, the ghost, would spare his life because he wouldn’t kill his own family despite all and he won’t be more controlled anymore by the samurai code and he will be seen like a traitor for doing the correct without honor. So I didn’t kill him and for me that option is the canon
Renzo Pedemonte I feel the same, Jin rejects samurai code and not killing uncle confirms that his a Ghost now. Killing uncle only would show that Shimura and stupid code is more valuable than the life. Jin sacrificed everything to save the others life
Chu_nky I couldn’t say it better bro, totally agree 👏🏻
@@renzopedemonte NPCs state lord shimura is dead.
Julian Martinez and?
“Taking it is my punishment.” (Tears rolling down) That part always gets me.
Sora’s death (the horse). Yuriko’s death, Masako seeing her children hanged. Some haikus you have to write on these events happening. I have cried too much.
lord shimura death was the saddest for me but then someone spoilered me the yuriko death and now im so sad
My first horse was Sora 😢
Lord Shimura went to that duel knowing full well Jin would best him. He wanted to die because he had lost his son, Jin had been outcast and his clan disbanded.
Metaphorically Lord Shimura wanted both of their clans to die that day. He didn’t want to pass the Shimura mantel down to anyone that wasn’t Jin...
What a beautiful game... not afraid to say I cried. 🥺
Sucker punch: Are you sure? This will be your horse for the rest of your journey.
Me: LIAR
Well they are right if you choose the white or black horse in a way, for my case the dapple horse i choose is really dead
Jesus, how many people will make this joke?
I’m playing the game and my I just got to the part where my horse dies. I hadn’t seen this video yet so I was completely unprepared. I actually cried over my black horse, Kage.
Rest in piece my friend. May you run through endless fields in heaven.
It's like majority of people pick a black horse named Kage.
You have a black horse named Kage too? Black Kage Master race hoorah
Mine was white and named kage :v
After my horse die to control Jin I press the left button omg I realized my Sora just died so sad wth
@@Velasco-vp1fh yeah cause my Kage was sick now I've got some brown dumb horse named Sora...I miss kage man...
This game will go down in history as one of the best out there. I loved every minute of it and felt all kind of emotions while playing it. This is gaming at it’s finest.
12:04 it’s symbolic how they each write the final haikus at different colored leaves. Plus, if you killed him, the option on the left, you got the white ghost outfit, just like the color of the leaves on the left. If you spared him, the option on the right, you got the red ghost outfit, which are the leaves on the right
I do think there's some interesting dual-symbolism to be found in the Righteous Punishment and Vow of Vengeance skins if you look at eastern cultures:
White represents not just death, but purity in body and mind. This to me reflects the symbolism of Jin choosing to kill Lord Shimura: it shows that underneath the Ghost, he is still willing to adhere to what his country deems as honorable. Plus, more obviously, you get this outfit by killing Lord Shimura.
Red represents prosperity of family, which is poetic considering Jin's words: he will not kill his family for the sake of honor, even if Shimura will hunt him for the rest of his life. I also think the real kicker of this outfit is red is the color of Clan Shimura, further adding to this symbolism.
always hate losing ur horse, red dead redemption 2 ptsd,maybe....
😖😖😩😢😭😭😭😭😭😭
"Thank you"
I got some flashbacks :(
Yeah in rdr2 I bought a 1000$ black Arabian and flew of a mountain 10 minutes after I bought it
Mystical good god…
14:47 his scream is so sad, you can tell how much it’s hurting him to have to do this. The performances in this game were god tier. Such a masterpiece.
"When this is over, we'll go for a peaceful ride"
Won't be on the Earth.
Top 10 things that didn’t age well 😔
This game is the reason I will never trust reviews again , even a 9 is a crime
I could see a 9 because while the story itself is great, there are a lot of moments where its repetitive and the same old "sneak/rush your way into a camp, kill the enemies, go back and talk" scheme.
@@seekinpeekin thats why you gotta play with honour fuck all this sneakin bullshit more enemies = better gameplay
@@ErnestKhamilov that’s why I did the /rush
@@seekinpeekin I get your point, but for me honestly, the combat NEVER got dull or boring, not even at the end of the game. What a masterpiece.
@@MARKOoo to each their own. Just imo most people would probably find it a bit repetitive considering it’s the same things over and over. Also, 3 years ago is crazy
Feeling his heartbeat fade away in your controller is such a painfull detail
10:18 Let us realize that Jin dug an entire grave for his HORSE with what we can only assume was his sword
he didn't have a sword at that point of the story lol so it's even worse, he did it with his bare hands
His bare hands
Respect.
@@atastydonut in the freezing cold
Using a sword would be far less efficient than using his bare hands, not to mention that it would be busted to hell and too dull to kill if he treated it like a shovel
i havent even played the game, but when jin lost himself when shimura was sent by his own hands and Jin screams, then the music. Bloody hell my tears just came out.
lady masako’s storyline really made me uncomfortable. it must be devastating for someone to go through something like that.
But Jin's was too, mother and father dead, Lord Shimura possibly killed (relationship gets worse overtime too) Plus how Kage, Nobu or Sora dies, along with Taka.
Plus we also know Lord Shimura, Kazumasa Sakai (Jin's Father), the horse, Taka, and sort of Yuriko die right in front of him.
@@joxzsh9553 you forget yami(darkness)
The scene where Jin dedicates himself to the legend of the ghost is so heartbreaking because he surrenders and gives his sword to Yuna and Lord Shimura burns the adoption papers. Ugh I always wish every time I do that mission that just once Jin would stay with shimura, but they can’t win a war the samurai way.
Picking only 3 sad parts from this storyline is extremely difficult
In the sequel they should set it On the mainland where Jin is On the run from the shogun
9:26 Nobu: "We were supposed to protect each other... And we did"
😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
Nooooo
T'keyah Grey Saddest part is Jin never got to go on that peaceful ride with Nobu/Sora/Kage
@@theterrorizingtoast6171 Ikr! They were so close. 😢😢
I like how you just get straight to it. A lot of RUclipsrs would just give unnecessary dialogue at the beginning. Thank You.
What a masterpiece dude...
The best game that i've seen in these years, amazing storyline, characters... so beautiful.
When Jin said let go and Yuna said "im not leaving him" i got so hype and focused i got like 3 perfect parries in a row fighting the ronin...
Nah bro I was so pissed I kept spamming stagger attacks
On the contrary my eyes were blurry because I was crying and I almost died
@@shydreameress264 🤣🤣🤣yoo i can just imagine you trying to fight but you're crying wtf
@@MembersOfHistory Yeah I was pissed at myself for it x) At one point I was like fuck it and just used all my ghost weapons xD
I was getting hyped and was like "KILL THEM ALL" and I was trying to get ghost stance but kept failing and it triggered me so much.
The red maple leaves and white flower petals. The colors of the Japanese flag.
Nobody’s gonna talk about yuriko death ?
Exactly! Her death was the saddest.
How cute and sad wen she start mixing Jin with his father.And also the end of the journey of Norio looking for his brother ...
@@viriatoos we also have masako finding out about her sister. Man... the despair in her voice while she scream was haunting
@@viriatoos They sped over how similar Jin and his father were aswell in terms of brutality. I thought they'd focus more on it
It was sad I said to my self imagine dying so fast during that day one of my baby budgies were sick it got medicine shortly after it passed away every time it think of her death I think of him.
Hearing Jin say ‘We’ll go for a peaceful ride one day’ made me actually believe it. RIP Kage, best horse a man could have🙏🏽🙏🏽
Loyal to the end “Nobu”
Indeed.
A trusty companion to the very end.
@Rebecca Martinez my first horse Kage if he could talk to Jin/me: Was I a good horse? Me: Not even close, you were a great friend
the saddest part was how our homie at beginning of the game got roasted and sliced into a dish by Khan
😂😂😂 is it wrong that I laughed at how you explained lord Adachi death?
Lady masako: HOW DARE YOU
Lady Masako is gonna fuck u up for dissing her fam-I-lee
Coryxkenshin showing the adachi clip lmao
The yuna backstory/side mission with her and taka was so depressing man
Not gonna lie I had expected the duel between Shimura and Jin the moment he started disapproving of the Ghost. But there was a SMALL part of me that hoped I could choose Sepuku to reclaim my lost honor as one of the endings... sadly there was not so instead I too gave Shimura an honorable end.
Yeah I was expecting that kind of ending
I've never felt more bad for a person than Lady Masako. Such unbearable pain. Seeing her hanged children and burying them, her husband's death, her grandchildren and entire family killed and had to bury them, turns out her sister was responsible and had to kill her, being separated from her true love (mai). And now that everything is over, she's truly all alone with no home, waiting for her death.
these were definitely some tearjerkers. same as Yuriko's tale. I also feel like a lot of people are making the last choice in the game based off of the whole "I am the ghost I am dishonorable" idea set, but the way I see it, that last choice has nothing to do with the way of the samurai or honor or anything like that. it is purely a fight between a son and father. and choosing to spare him is choosing to spit in the face of everything he raised you to be. In killing him, it's less of an "I am an honorable samurai" thing to do, and more of an "I am still the son you raised" kind of thing. the final loving act of a son to his father. to show him that although you did horrible things to save your people, you are still the same person, at heart, the same "honorable" Lord Sakai that was once to be heir the Shimura clan. that's my take anyway.
The second one was so sad, cause you choose the horse that you keep it until now.. shadow you will remembered :/ btw in Skellige I found one pack of horses and used axii to one and mount it, I think I betrayed roach xD
@loafhero do you mean seppukku?
Black Wolf your gay man
That escaleted way faster than speed of light! Wtf dude!! How dare you dishonor this game...
Where exactly in Skellige did you find those rideable horses? Honor me by reply!
@@CocoroKun16 it was a random place I don't remember xD but for some reason I could whistle Roach and I found these horses
@Francisco Méndez Grajales shame shame shame
As someone who lost their grandmother to Dementia, Yurikos death realllllly choked me up
:(
I'm sorry about that bro, R.I.P to her 😔
When Taka died I just screamed at the screen *DAMN IT TAKA!!!*
Then when the horse died I got Rdr2 flashbacks and screamed again *ARE YOU KIDDING ME... NO!! NOT AGAIN!! NOT MY KAGE!!*
I did the exact same thing🤣
I did the same and I also named my Horse Kage and it was black now my Horse is white and named Kaze to honor Kage I named it like that I was so sad when Kage died, I cried
Sometimes I go to nobus grave and play the flute for him
Same 😂
maximal sweat same buh I dint cry I jus was sad asab 😩
Am I the only one who felt so sad for Ryuzo when he screamed “Open the gate!”? You could hear the pain in his voice that even though he betrayed them he didn’t want to kill his own people.
That one was hard to watch too.
I felt full hate for Ryuzo so it wasn't that sad for me. If he would have helped take the castle he would have gotten food and had trusted allies. That and he would choose the straw hats over Jin which was his childhood friend
It's definitely one of the most well-acted scenes IMO. You can tell how shell-shocked he is at the forced act of burning his own people alive at the stake, eyes glazed over and shuffling along like he's in a horrible dream-world. And it's so beuatifully contrasted with Khotun's utter indifference, almost boredom. Love that scene.
Yeah this was a "what did I get myself into" moment for Ryuzo. He wasn't evil, he was desperate and afraid. But he was also remorseful and stubborn.
The first act was handled in a brilliant way. They made you expect a Shimura betrayal all the way. Instead, when you turn up at the castle, no straw hats join you. This is also opposite to Act 3 when Shimura does show up and helps fight the Mongols.
Shimura and Ryuzo are each other's foils and a representation of the ways of Samurai (devoted to honor and master) and Ronin (fallen samurai with no master nor honor). Jin, as the Ghost, is in-between. Which is why I picked the dapple grey horse after my first one died.
@@seekinpeekin Atleast you said “he chose the straw hats over jin” giving a better sense of betrayal, while most people who think they are moral activists will just say “he chose his family over his homeland”
Notice the leaves are red and white like if you killed him you’ll the white ghost armor if you spare him you’ll get the red armor it’s just that I thought that was interesting that’s all
yep
I got the red armor for sparing him
yeah that’s what I said 😂
Che Nino yeah, red armor stands for a more vicious and honorless ghost(not in a bad way), white armor stands for a more innocent, gentle ghost
I got white armor for killing Shimura and spawned at the house at nighttime.
Justice for horses in games man, they always die😭. They deserve better.
I thought the vibration on the controller reflecting Shimura's heartbeat during his death really added to the heaviness of the scene. Such a great ending.
I had headphone mode on so i didnt feel it
Man, thanks for being such a nice person and youtuber. I really like that you enjoy and are as interested in these games as we are, i thought i wouldn't cry today again but dam that ending is some of the best writing EVER.
“milk from our favorite horse”
“she broke her leg yesterday”
well uh, my horse wasnt so lucky
Idk why, but Yuriko's death hit me like a ton of bricks. I literally wept.
Doctor?
*NO*
Doctor?
*NO*
Doctor?
*NO!*
Doctor?
*no response*
FUUUUUUUUUUUU
Jin's mind explained.
When your horse died is 1st for me I almost shed a tear when that happened. At the end when your horse was struggling to stay on its feet it was so heart breaking
By the breathe in my body, this game is beautiful. Absolutely stunning and you can very clearly see the love and passion that went into developing this game. The story is phenomenal. I hope they give a Pre/Sequel.
Man i almost cried when my horse died, and literally picked my jaw from the floor with Taka's last badass standing! What masterpiece ❤️
The ending was the one that made me cry. You don't have many flashbacks or instances to play with Jin's uncle, and i really thought a i didn't care about him. Till i had to make my decision (that took me a solid half an hour). I realize how the story of them is subtle, yet poweful. Losing Lord Shimura and losing the samurai title, is the greatest prove of what Jin sacrificed to save Tsushima. Btw, RIP Sora: the second horse i've seen die in a videogame.
IMO the moment when shimurai lost faith in jin was much sadder than the horse
This game rocked my world. Seriously one of the best video games I've ever played. Gameplay, soundtrack, story everything was there. Absolute masterpiece.
My horse when I rode him off a cliff: Walks it off
My horse when three arrows hit his butt: Dies
RIP Sora :c
(could be Nobu or Kage) :)
@@joxzsh9553 he was talking about his horse
@@MembersOfHistory oh
Yea each time I play my horse jumps of a cliff he lives Me:How did u live? but I do not fall BC I jump off of Nobu as soon as he jumps but I have other horses such as Sora, Nobux1, Nobux2, and Kaze BTW that was in order of my horses in my past gameplays. :)
This game is and will always be my favorite game, the cutscenes and soundtrack were amazing and the story and dialogue were perfect
Everything is perfection in this game. The cinematics, the emotions, the story, a true work of art. First time a game made me feel so many emotions. I screamed at my tv like a madman so many times xD
I’m basically emotionless so I felt nothing when these moments happened but I just summed it up as immersive since Jin said to master your emotions
Play yuriko tale/questline might be the saddest out of the character tales
She had me crying man
Yeah that really hit hard
It was hard and sad, but I feel like her attitude hinted at the fact that she would die soon. Especially the last mission with her where her mind kinda wanders around. While the other deaths are, I feel, a bit more unexpected or sudden
@@swissrecon the fact that you see her inevitable death from way before makes you want to find any way to save her only to realize in the end that it's impossible to do make makes it way sadder that an unexpected death imo
@@ManlyBanana9009 I guess so, but in a way it's not about what you can do to stop the inevitable I think. I took it as I want to make her last moment the best as possible. That's what I understood from Jin playing along when she talked to him using his father's name.
I really didn't expect this game to hit me emotional the way it did. So fucking beautiful
The saddest moment was when Nobu died. That moment actually grew hatred towards other samurai for me and I hoped to get my revenge
I was fully sobbing at the end it was so emotional. Loved every minute of this masterpiece
I cried when Kage died, and I cried when Lord Shimura died. And by cry, I mean I SOBBED. This game hit me like a truck.
Taka didn't deserve that, screw this game!😭😭😭
I still wanna play it
Too many characters died right before Jin's eyes. Kazumasa, Yuriko, Taka etg.
Joel: *Dies*
Me: Zzz
Taka: *Dies*
Me: '''D''':
I would definitely add a 4th moment as you work your way through yurikos quests she gradually forgets who Jin is and starts referring to him as kazumasa and Jin knows her time is coming so he plays along sitting with her as she passes always makes my eyes a little misty
This game knows how to hit you right in the feels. Taka had me tearing up, and my horse and Lord Shimura had me crying
5:06 I like the fact that the sword decided to become one with the ground while Yuna is grieving over the loss of her brother.
8:30 never been lose so many things and banished at the same time
Damn... the start of Act III was so heartbreakingly sad. My only wish was that you’d be forced to go on without a horse for a longer stretch of the game. It kinda lessens the impact that you get another mount after just one mission.
Well without a horse for a long stretch of time would be nightmare. I notice that the temporary horse is slower than your samurai horse (not by much but still noticeable) so that something
8:52 this specific part of “The way of the Ghost” always gets me right in the feels. Gosh this game had a good soundtrack
Having Jin fight Lord Shimura hit me hard the most. Everything building up to that point... the flashbacks... their fights together... their relationship almost being like father and son... I lost my father at a young age, and maybe because of that those parts of the game resonated with me soo much... this game was such a phenomenal experience that I’ll never forget😢
man that last duel
when taka died i was like "yuna is gonna fucking kill me"
I would’ve never thought a horse’s death would be the most emotional moment in a game for me.
For me the the sad about uncle death is when he says find me in the next life it truly touched my heart
Yurikos death was really sad as well..its so well done like you slowly understanding her memory is going, which is what happens in real life..and how she reveals her relationship with kazumasa...it really hits when you tell her what you see and then look back and she has peacefully passed on
You were my brother anakin.. I loved you...
My last Ghost of Tsushima video, off we go to the Witcher 3 again
Just don’t forget the ass ears ok?
Just a merely four? Thought there’s a lot more worthy content from this game, but oh well you’re known as the Witcher man aren’t you huh
Whaaaaat? no more Ghost of Tsushima?
That's like Witcher 3.5: electric bogaloo
We need more Ghost vids!!!
@@DarkSamael55 lol
give us one more with your thoughts about the game and how it compares to other games like lets say witcher and assassins creed. i ve waited days to watch them and i kinda expected some commentary to be honest :P
The song playing when Nobu/Sora/Kage dies reminds me of the "Flower of Carnage" song by Meiko Kaji from Kill Bill.
Khotun is such a menace, he really didint let taka say his last words😂
The voice actor's performances were amazing!!
The horse was so sad 😞😞
I knew Taka was gona eat it when he followed Jin. But Kage broke my heart.
Spoiler...
The must hitting moment in this game.. Is Yuriko's death.. Maybe lots of people didn't know about her..
In her missions when she start coughing i knew she gonna die.. I just continued that mission worrying about her.. Until the moment her last moment.. 😭😭😭
-Well half of the character we see in the game dies, mostly generic NPC-
But why it feels so sad Q.Q
Same
That’s #1 for me
